APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Caruso:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill in 80 linear feet of
intermittent stream and in 0.0055 acre of wetlands in order to construct two road crossings for the Oak Leaf
Christian Academy located on Oak Leaf Road in Asheboro, Rockingham County, as described in your
application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on January 31, 2006. After reviewing your
application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3402,
which can be viewed on our web site at http://www.ncwaterguality.org/wetlands.html. This Certification
allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In
addition, you should secure any other applicable federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your
project, including (but not limited to) those required by Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and
Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also, this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permit
expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you maybe required to send us a new application for a
new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and
approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fill for this
project (now or in the future) exceeds one acre, or total fill to perennial streams equals or exceeds 150 linear
feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval
to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification, as well as the additional
conditions listed below:
1. The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all other specific and general conditions of this
Certification are met. No other impacts, including incidental impacts, are approved:

2. Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures which equal or exceed those outlined in the most
recent version of the !North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual or the
North Carolina Surface !Mining Manual (available from the Division of Land Resources at NCDENR
regional offices or the central office), whichever is more appropriate, shall be designed, installed and
maintained properly to assure compliance at all times with the North Carolina water quality standards
that are-applicable to Class-G waters as-deserib€d-in---1-5A--NCAG42B .0214 Fresh-Surface-flr?r-Quality --
Standards For Class C JVaters. Such measures must equal or exceed the requirements specified in the
most recent version of the !North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. These measures must
be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) sites, including contractor
owned and leased borrow pits, which are associated with this project.
3. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control measures in wetlands or waters is
unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the
project is completed or, if applicable, within six months of the date that the project is released by the
North Carolina Division of Land Resources.
4. No waste, spoils, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the
footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-Construction Notification. All construction activities,
including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control "Best
Management Practices" shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards,
statutes, or rules occur.
5. The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profile
is not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed).
- - Existingstrearn-dimensions (including-th-e?Tattern-and-profile) are-to-tie mam ai`ne move an-Tbelow t-H6
location of each culvert. The culverts shall be designed and installed to prevent head cutting of the
stream. If a culvert becomes perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if a culvert
is installed in a perched manner, the culvert shall be removed and re-installed correctly. The Applicant
must submit a plan and receive written approval from this Office to address any head cutting that will
occur as a result of this project (e.g., use of cross vanes downstream of the culvert).
6. Where riprap is required for energy dissipation and scour protection, it shall be limited to the minimum
dimensions specified by appropriate engineering calculations. Riprap may only be used below the
normal high water level. The original grade and elevation of the stream's cross-section must be
maintained. Riprap placed in the stream bottom must be inserted into the bottom matrix to a depth
sufficient to provide the thickness of riprap required for scour protection. The elevation of the stream
bottom must not be increased by the placement of riprap. Placement of riprap must not result in
destabilization of the streambed or banks upstream or downstream of any crossing.
Mr. Bernard E. Caruso

' March 1, 2006
7. All construction activities associated with this project shall minimize built-upon surface area, direct
stormwater runoff away from surface waters, and incorporate best management practices to minimize
water quality impacts. If concrete is used with any fill material, it shall not be allowed to come in
contact with surface waters until it has cured. If any stormwater must be collected for discharge into a
stream channel, it shall not enter the stream as a point source, but shall be slowed and discharged as
sheet flow prior to entering the riparian buffer on either side of the stream.
8. Upon finishing the project, the Applicant shall fill out and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed.
This certificate should be returned to the Wetlands/401 Certification Unit of the NC Division of Water
Quality at the address listed on the form. Along with the Certificate of Completion, please send
photographs upstream and downstream of the culvert site to document correct installation.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition
which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final
and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strrngide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including,- but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement,. creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Impacts are less than 150 feet
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wM/index.htm. If use of

ECS Project G-11741
Dear Mr. Wilson:
At your request, Engineering Consulting Services, Ltd. personnel visited the property located on Highway
49 in Asheboro on November 9, 2005. The site consists of undeveloped, wooded land.
The USGS Topographic Map (Figure 1) shows an unnamed tributary to Little River originating near the
southern boundary of the site. The map shows drainage swales on the site that could contain surface
waters or wetlands.
Based on our site reconnaissance, a stream crosses the center of the site. The stream contains a bed and
bank and meanders. Portions of the stream contained flowing water and other portions of the stream were
dry. In our opinion, the stream is intermittent. The centerline of the stream was flagged during our site
reconnaissance.
Small wetland pockets are located along the stream. The areas appear to be less than one-tenth of an acre
in size and were borderline in our opinion. Hydrology indicators were weak in some areas and were not
present in others. Based on the small size of the wetland areas, the areas were not flagged during our
reconnaissance.
We spoke with Mr. Todd Tugwell with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers about the site. Mr. Tugwell
informed us that during a previous visit to the site, he determined there to be less than one-tenth of an acre
of wetlands. Mr. Tugwell instructed us that during the permitting process to include the impacts to the
wetlands. Mr. Tugwell informed us that the stream that crosses the center of the site will be considered
unimportant relative to mitigation requirements by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Mr. Tugwell
informed us that a ditch along Oakleaf Drive is also considered to be an unimportant stream by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers. Mr. Tugwell informed us that permits will also be required from the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers for impacts to this stream.
We recommend that the flagged stream and the ditch that is considered a stream by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers be surveyed so that appropriate permits can be obtained for future impacts to the
jurisdictional areas.
In general, Section 404 of the Clean Water Act regulates the discharge of dredge and fill materials into
waters of the United States (lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, etc.), including wetlands. Waters of the United

States include the territorial seas, navigable coastal and inland lakes, rivers, streams (including
intermittent streams) and wetlands. Activities that could be regulated under Section 404 include
placement of fill for construction of roadways; residential, commercial or industrial structures; and the
construction of water retention ponds along tributaries. The EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
jointly administer the Section 404 program. Section 401 of the Clean Water Act grants each state the
authority to approve, condition, or deny any Federal permits that could result in a discharge to State
waters.
Permits will be required prior to impacting more than 1/10 acre of wetlands or any open waters including
perennial or intermittent streams. Mitigation and a stormwater management plan may be a condition of
any permits issued for the site. Buffers may be required adjacent to the streams and wetlands.
For impacts to more than one-half acre of wetlands or to more than 300 linear feet of stream channel, an
individual permit (1P) may be required. An IP requires a habitat analysis, alternative site analysis, project
justification, plans to avoid and minimize impacts, and a proposed mitigation plan. Depending on the
habitat analysis and the extent of impacts, an Environmental Impact Statement may be required by the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. An IP allows for a public comment period and may require 4 to 18
months to obtain depending on conditions arising during the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers review and
public comment period.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide our services to you and look forward to assisting you with this
project.
Sincerely,

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/ncwetlands/?Stnngide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Impacts are less than 150 feet
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:

Asheboro, North Carolina
ECS Project G-11741
Dear Mr. Wilson:
At your request, Engineering Consulting Services, Ltd. personnel visited the property located on Highway
49 in Asheboro on November 9, 2005. The site consists of undeveloped, wooded land.
The USGS Topographic Map (Figure 1) shows an unnamed tributary to Little River originating near the
southern boundary of the site. The map shows drainage swales on the site that could contain surface
waters or wetlands.
Based on our site reconnaissance, a stream crosses the center of the site. The stream contains a bed and
bank and meanders. Portions of the stream contained flowing water and other portions of the stream were
dry. In our opinion, the stream is intermittent. The centerline of the stream was flagged during our site
reconnaissance.
i
Small wetland pockets are located along the stream. The areas appear to be less than one-tenth of an acre
in size and were borderline in our opinion. Hydrology indicators were weak in some areas and were not
present in others. Based on the small size of the wetland areas, the areas were not flagged during our
reconnaissance.
We spoke with Mr. Todd Tugwell with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers about the site. Mr. Tugwell
informed us that during a previous visit to the site, he determined there to be less than one-tenth of an acre
of wetlands. Mr. Tugwell instructed us that during the permitting process to include the impacts to the
wetlands. Mr. Tugwell informed us that the stream that crosses the center of the site will be considered
unimportant relative to mitigation requirements by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Mr. Tugwell
informed us that a ditch along Oakleaf Drive is also considered to be an unimportant stream by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers. Mr. Tugwell informed us that permits will also be required from the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers for impacts to this stream.
,We recommend that the flagged stream and the ditch that is considered a stream by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers be surveyed so that appropriate permits can be obtained for future impacts to the
jurisdictional areas.
In general, Section 404 of the Clean Water Act regulates the discharge of dredge and fill materials into

placement of fill for construction of roadways; residential, commercial or industrial structures; and the
construction of water retention ponds along tributaries. The EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
jointly administer the Section 404 program. Section 401 of the Clean Water Act grants each state the
authority to approve, condition, or deny any Federal permits that could result in a discharge to State
waters.
Permits will be required prior to impacting more than 1/10 acre of wetlands or any open waters including
perennial or intermittent streams. Mitigation and a stormwater management plan may be a condition of
any permits issued for the site. Buffers may be required adjacent to the streams and wetlands.
For impacts to more than one-half acre of wetlands or to more than 300 linear feet of stream channel, an
individual permit (IP) may be required. An IP requires a habitat analysis, alternative site analysis, project
justification, plans to avoid and minimize impacts, and a proposed mitigation plan. Depending on the
habitat analysis and the extent of impacts, an Environmental Impact Statement may be required by the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. An IP allows for a public comment period and may require 4 to 18
months to obtain depending on conditions arising during the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers review and
public comment period.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide our services to you and look forward to assisting you with this
project.
